Preparation
In a bowl, whisk olive oil and eggs until well combined.
Add plain yogurt, vanilla extract, and xylitol (or coconut sugar or honey) to the bowl. Whisk well.
Mash the ripe bananas and add them to the bowl. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, mix chickpea flour, protein powder, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Place the batter into a lined muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

Once baked, allow the muffins to cool slightly before enjoying.
